Paleo.pdf

With Lia Rousset

Paleo.pdf uses the material of the archive to expose forms of knowledge. While the specifics on the microfilm are inaccessible to the naked eye, it can be read — the legibility of the microfilm is not from the individual words, but rather from our familiarity to the indexical. The negatives act as a source and promise for greater detail while the culture of preserved text/images suggests a treasure trove. The sculpture is a glut of information and a portal, which viewers are invited to enter.
